Several of you have recently said that you'd like to keep up with me, but may not share views or interests about which I am very vocal here.

Because I would rather keep up with you than drop out of contact with you, I have set up a new journal this morning solely for personal updates and events:
sabrinaqedesha.

I haven't set up the format or user icons yet. Will do that later...

I do not understand the idea of wanting
to keep up with a person but not with their
views or interests...
perhaps in someone one knows intimately it
can be somewhat separable, a wife may not
read her husband's books and privately consider
them not as fine as he thinks and him a bit of
a blowhard when he holds forth but she knows him
otherwise well enough for that to be ok.
I am wondering if we in livejournal know each
other well enough to allow ourselves that sort
of separation...if we have no use for the
views and interests of a friend at all(or at least
of the person who can be extrapolated from these
things, which may be a slight but real distinction),
then with whom are wa a friend etc?
I should prefer, if you approve, to remain on that
journal which more fully reflects your life.
By the way I have not been responding to various
news of yours and may have missed one or two, but
when are you coming up to Boston? Perhaps we might
meet, without urgency, in New York sometime?

That was my initial response, but then again, I don't discuss all of my views with everyone I'm friendly with. People who know me from one sphere may not need to or want to know about my involvement in other spheres.

I doubt I will be duplicating entries, but OTOH this journal would suffer without a personal touch. I'll find a balance somehow.

I would like that. The plan at this point is to leave for Boston at the end of next week, but friends have threatened to absconded me so I remain in New Orleans through that weekend, in which case I will travel sometime early in the following week.
